For over twenty years, the University of Dallas has provided high school students
with summer and study abroad opportunities modeled after its signature Rome program.
These programs offer college credit and are held on our main campus in Irving, TX
and sister campus in Rome, Italy, and are designed to show students the great and
lasting pleasures that accompany a good educational experience.

We invite you to come with us and share Shakespeare's passion for the bright sun,
sweeping Campagna, mountains, forums, and gondolas of Italy and our passion for the
Bard, and see how these intersect while living on the beautiful campus at Due Santi
and traveling to places like Rome, Padova, Verona, and Venice where he set his plays.

Trace the channels of reasoned reflection on the Catholic faith that mark Roman and
Western Civilization: spirituality, art, culture, and history. Sts. Athanasius, Augustine,
and Thomas Aquinas will guide us at significant sites in Rome, Florence, and Assisi,
as we explore the beliefs of the Catholic Church and the related movements.

Deepen your understanding of the Latin language and the Romans who spoke it by visiting
archaeological and historical sites in and around Rome and Naples and by participating
in intensive small group tutorials on relevant passages in Latin. Intermediate and
advanced students of Latin are welcomed on this three-week program.

Arete means excellence, the standard the ancient Greeks set for themselves in life
and in the life of the mind. This two-week program on our home campus will introduce
you to essential texts of Western Civilization and allow you to reflect on works of
fine art, film, and music, all the while earning college credit.
